Περίληψη

Τα Αυτόνομα Φονικά Οπλικά Συστήματα (L.A.W.S) και οι στρατοί από ρομπότ αποτελούν το μέλλον της διεξαγωγής πολέμων. Αυτό σημαίνει πως τα συστήματα τεχνητής νοημοσύνης θα λαμβάνουν αποφάσεις ζωής και θανάτου κατά τη διάρκεια πολεμικών επιθέσεων. Ένα σημαντικό ζήτημα που προκύπτει από αυτή την πιθανή κατάσταση είναι η δυσκολία να αποδοθεί η ευθύνη σε κάποιον. Ποιος θα είναι υπεύθυνος, όταν μια μηχανή, πλήρως εξοπλισμένη να λειτουργεί και να «σκέφτεται» από μόνη της, σκοτώνει αμάχους; Είναι απλώς θέμα ατομικής ευθύνης που θα διαμοιράζεται μεταξύ των εμπλεκόμενων μερών που συνέβαλαν στη δημιουργία των μηχανών τεχνητής νοημοσύνης ή είναι κάτι που πρέπει να μας κάνει να επανεξετάσουμε τη βάση των ηθικών μας αξιών; Ίσως θα έπρεπε να ανησυχούμε περισσότερο, όχι για το που θα αποδώσουμε αυτό το κατακριτέο σφάλμα, αλλά για το είδος της ηθικής στην οποία στηριζόμαστε και επιτρέπουμε ένα τέτοιο σφάλμα να προκληθεί.
